Yeah, I think that's basically what the FBI agent they interviewed said. If Reddit ever nukes me, then it would be the kick in the ass that I need to stop wasting time on that toxic site as well. But I just lost interest in the app, and life seems to be better now for having done so. I created a new account attached to the same phone and email address (somehow THIS isn't detected as abuse?). My Instagram account that I had for 5-10 years is just gone. I did this, but never got any kind of response. The Instagram appeals process is to email them a selfie, holding a piece of paper with the current date and something else written on it. Basically, the algorithm thought that I was a bot hired to inflate that person's numbers. My Instagram account was blocked, for "manipulation" or some verbiage like that. I scrolled through and "liked" one or two dozen of their performance clips, out of the hundreds that they've posted.
Several months ago I followed a new cardistry (look it up) personality on Instagram. It's the strategy of all the major social players. But after this incident I've completely stopped accessing my Reddit account via Tor. I sent a message to the Subreddit admin and I was able to post again. Recently it almost happened again with my current account, but this time I was not global shadowbanned and it seemed to be just a local spam filter (many subreddits have their own anti-spam policies and auto-moderation queues). I always posted in good faith and never got into any flamewar, a few links I shared were well-received by the subs. I guess it was because the exit node I happened to be using that day was on a "kill on sight" spam blocklist. I've registered successfully via Tor and was able to use it without any problems for 6 months or so. My Reddit account was banned because I was posting from Tor. Eventually the account would be deleted, all the post you've ever made would also be gone in the worst-case scenario, just like my previous account. At this stage, your account is essentially finished, it's basically impossible to talk to someone and get your account unblocked. Once your account is flagged as spam by the system, it would be global shadowbanned automacially. One "control" test account got banned today, after having been opened yesterday - this purposely used while "flipping" between VPN exit points. Two older/test accounts I dug up in the immediate aftermath of first closed, with no submissions, got also suspended within the span of a few days of use (reading/access only). Original account was 10K+ submissions and almost same for comments, with never close to questionable content - got suspended during my travel, with no apparent (at time) cause. Įdit: PIA as VPN, with three major exit points, used interchangeably: France (local when there, public place), UK (local when there, public place) and US (employer specific requirement). If the Redit bozos do not comprehend the need for VPN, if *content* provided is of not harmful in any way, then I sure wish them good luck in keeping this service going.
As I was/am traveling at present, I used VPN in a few places, and I tested the theory of this being the source: created a new account yesterday, used it fine with no posting or submissions, then used it again today with two different VPN exit points, and sure enough: "Your account has been permanently suspended from Reddit." Posted earlier about an account of mine having been suspended with no apparent reason (at least of posting rules breaking), then other two which I had in the past, for testing.
